awesomeersIt's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!
Happy (Autumnal/Vernal) Equinox!

Ergo, the game.
It goes a little like this:
Partner A thinks up a request that
Partner B will (have to) say no to, and not just because that is the rule of the improv scene.
Partner A makes the request.
Partner B gives their honest response to the request, if safe to do so.
(If necessary, follow with a stoplight status check-in, particularly if it was a stressful exchange.)
As long as the answer is still "no", Partner A keeps making the requests. If the answer approaches "yes" or "maybe", switch.

Date: 2016-09-24 01:55 am (UTC)Well, if I don't phone-book transport to appts (3 business days ahead of time), I can't attend appts,
and if I don't phone-book assistance onto the train with my mobility scooter, I can't catch the train with my mobility scooter, so...

Date: 2016-09-24 06:51 am (UTC)Yes, you are. ^_^
What I meant was:
"I still find phone calls difficult/tiring/stressful/anxiety provoking/exhausting, but I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE ABOUT MAKING THEM IF I WANT TO GET MY BASIC NEEDS MET."
There's no non-phone way for me to get transport, or book medical appts, or...
